1. I love the Cons on the Rio review: Acceleration, Noise, Comfort. Hahahaha, I think that lady in the Mercedes might have something to say to that.

2. Yes! you put a picture up...can we start a whole section devoted to a certain former Ag 800m runner? We can get the hits up on your forum in a hurry.

3. I had something else to say here but I don't remember. Great wright up.

Oh, and for you youngins out there, a tip: When a guy who actually knows how to run the 1500m pulls you through the first couple laps at a pace 13 seconds above your PR and there's a monster beach headwind on the homestretch, let him pull you through 800m, not 700. thanks again Dimitry.

to reply -- (due to the excessive traffic of this site, it's difficult for me to reply immediately, even though I check for new posts every 4-5 months.)

1. The kia broke down a few days later -- burned out throttle body, ignition electronics, intake, heater and coolant valves. All barely under the soon to expire warranty. There's dents on every body panel now, including the most severe on the roof. When it brakes down for good I'm going to have it towed to the 13 meter line in a shot ring and have myself all the motivation I need for a big PR. All are welcome to this event - the Kia Rio Cinco Destruction Derby All-Comers Shot Put till you Drop competition -- instead of 3 or 4 or 6 throws, you get unlimited, and you get to bring any part of the car home you want.
2. Most of the other pictures I have can't go up -- it's not this kind of site.
3. Whatever it was, it's probably a great thing you don't remember.

The ankle is still considerably swollen and there's a bit of pain even just under my body weight. I go in again next week.
